no contact list update after importing new contacts

[Luigi01]

Binary package hint: evolution

- a number of new contacts were imported through the use of a CSV-file in evolution without problems
- after checking in evolution under "CONTACTS", all newly added contacts are showed in the list
- however, when starting a new email, none of the new contacts are available - auto completion does not work, and the list opened by pressing the "TO"-button does not reveal any of the just imported addresses.

Conclusion: imported new contacts in evolution, found them available in the contacts list; new contacts were found not to be accessible when sending mail.

thank you for your bug report, do you get the issue after restarting evolution?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

did you import those in your standard contact list or in a new one?

[Luigi01 (rob-dehaanstijkel)]

Yes, I imported the new list into my (existing) list in the personal
'folder'; the existing contacts were and still are available when needed
for sending mail.

Yes, even after restarting evolution the problem remained.

Found after looking using a different view-mode that the problem lies in the way the contacts were added after importing the csv-file: the newly imported addresses had their email address filled in in the 'Nickname'-field; after moving the email address to the proper field address the problem was solved.

the issue is similar to bug #236136 which is about incorrect csv import
